Proxy Router Configuration for Phone Farm Labs

**Why proxy routers in phone farms** When each device group needs distinct egress IP, a dedicated router or proxy appliance per cluster prevents cross-contamination and rate-limit coupling. **Capacity planning** - Entry tier: ~20–30 devices per router cluster - Mid tier: ~50 devices with managed switch upstream - High density: mini-PC proxy class for 200+ device rooms (quoted per project) **Configuration checklist** 1. Place router on dedicated VLAN per rack row 2. Disable conflicting on-device VPN apps when using external SOCKS5 3. Document MAC and IP map per slot ID 4. Test WebRTC leak policy if browser workflows are in scope 5. Size switch ports for control PC + rack LAN paths PhoneFarm ICU **Network Equipment** SKU provides hardware modules — proxy IPs and carrier SIMs are buyer-supplied.
